2002 Nirve Rail
2002 Nirve Rail
This bike is almost all stock. The Nirve components are all Voxom branded, a company that still makes beach cruiser bikes, but quickly abandoned BMX
Sold on Ebay Sept 2010. =to member Gas cat
Found OG Nirve fork and Voxom stem here in the museum and reconstituted the bike.
The non-oem parts are: Answer Alumalite pro fork, black S&M racing handlebars, Redline Stem, Maxxis Holy Rollers tires, Wellgo square traps, and Cane Creek S-1 Aheadset.. I have the original fork, but it is heavy for a racing bike at almost 3 lbs. Oem bike components are: 7005 aluminum frame with integrated chain tensioners, Voxom Seat, post, and clamp, sealed hubs, three-six-d’s rims, Voxom 3 piece Chromoly race cranks, 44t sprocket, and Tektro V-brakes. The guy I bought it from said it was a 2002, but the serial number makes me think the frame was mfg’d in 2000. I’m going with 2001. This bike is very light. From what I understand Voxom was founded by ex GT people after the sale, and they sold bikes via internet and mail-order only. I think this will prove to be a rare bike some day.
Excerpt from www.cycletechinc.com who sold this bike for $449 + shipping.
7000 series aluminum tubing, large chisel cut top tube, XL 20.6 top tube length, forged dropouts, integrated seat post clamp, machined headtube and bottom bracket

Would Trade stuff for: Voxom stuff, Radix stem and stuff, JW and Stiffys stuff, dark blue alloy chainring bolts, Redline 36h high-flange blue rear sealed hub, Torker 24 threadless fork, cool late mid-school pro, Jr., and expert cruiser bmx parts.

Re: 2002 Nirve Rail
This bike is funny in that the frame is exceptionally lightweight -very well designed. The wheels, seat, post, BB, etc... all again are very high end parts. But then the stem they used weighed over a pound, and the forks weigh three pounds -way too heavy. The way I have it set up, with Answer fork and Redline stem, it is fast and light. It's gonna hang on a hook for the next ten years.

Re: 2002 Nirve Rail
That's a nice looking frame. How much did that Fetish frame set you back?
btw, I got lots of bikes, so I can live without riding this one.
I'm not sure what a 'carpet queen' is. Closest phrase I've heard is when a gay female is called a 'carpet muncher'.
Since I'm a guy, and straight, i guess I can live with that...

Re: 2002 Nirve Rail
a carpet queen is a bike kept inside unridden. now what the hell's a carpet bagger??
That Fetish frame was i think $150 "factory direct". it's light as hell. i did notice a slight frame flex in the rear triangle (those older super-long Balance frames were killers with that frame flex) but nothing thats gonna throw the chain off & the angle of the head tube makes for a nice tight feel. cant wait to dig it out of storage & dirty it up myself!

Re: 2002 Nirve Rail
Nice Rail, I am a big fan of Nirve, they never realy caught on but they were great bikes. I used to work in a bike store that sold Nirve BMX bikes new and I had alot of them. I wish I hadnt sold all of mine. Yours Rail looks to be in great shape.

Re: 2002 Nirve Rail
I'm the new owner of this rail and exstatic! we are huge Nirve fans and just found a thrust, all original pretty cheap so that looks to be our next purchase. Really wanting a Nirve Vice though, that's my "holy grail" a lot of sentimental in the Vice for me!

Re: 2002 Nirve Rail
I was reminded of how nice that bike was as I was packing it up... the bolt style hubs with individual aluminum housings, the opaque braided brake cable, the Kevlar seat, the integrated seat post clamp, the integrated chain tensioners that were fully removeable, the chromoly cranks arms, etc.... Just nice all around. Was a bargain new at $550 -and even more of a bargain at what I sold it for.
